What I do:

Inspired Leadership and a Department of Heroes

As an executive, I play a key role in and have responsibility for setting objectives and funding projects vital to the success of the company. I need to track project progress from a high level and keep my executive staff peers up to date and informed on a regular basis.

In order for my team to be successful, proficient and professional, they need the right tools and information to complete their jobs. My direct reports and their staff exercise good judgment and work efficiently on projects, allowing me to not have to micro-manage. At the same time, I need up-to-date information on a moment's notice. 

How I use Smartsheet:

Smartsheet puts the most up-to-date data in your hands in an easy and elegant way; inspiring confidence and providing awareness that the project’s critical path objectives are being met.

In today’s quickly changing, dynamic business environment, having my team use Smartsheet to manage their project and other work commitments is a no-risk, low investment decision. The intuitive interface makes it simple for my already busy team to get up and running.

Projects and worklists are updated in real time and because it’s web based,  information is accessible to those those involved at any time, in any location. Refreshingly easy to use, Smartsheet gives my team the security and flexibility that results in project objectives being met on time and on budget.

I stay on top of the multitude of things for which the team is responsible with:

• Easy to read status reports – see what has changed in the last hour, day or week
• Roll-up summary reports
• Sharing of cross-functional team activities and responsibilities
• Projects updates that are made in real time - vs. sitting in someone's inbox
